AET and PET are strongly influenced by local factors such as topography, land cover and soil moisture, which limits the usability of global climate models for their projections. Here, we dynamically downscale Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models using Conformal Cubic Atmospheric Model (CCAM) to a 10km resolution over Australia and derive AET and PET at a daily time step using the Morton method and project future changes under SSP126, 245 and 370. Three AET / PET datasets are provided by Queensland Government Climate Projection Service team, which include Areal AET, Wet Environment Areal PET and Point PET. These datasets are computed offline based on Morton’s Complementary Relationship Areal Evapotranspiration (CRAE) model. In addition, we also provide datasets for Pan Evaporation (linear regression model), Short and Tall Crop Reference Evapotranspiration (Penman–Monteith model) and Shallow Lake Evaporation (Morton’s Complementary Relationship Wet-surface Evaporation CRWE model). They have used dynamically downscaled CMIP6 models datasets as input. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[110.0, -45.0], [170.0, -45.0], [170.0, -9.0], [110.0, -9.0], [110.0, -45.0]]]} 110.0 170.0 -45.0 -9.0 Projections of actual and potential evapotranspiration from downscaled high-resolution CMIP6 climate simulations in Australia documentDigital HTML NetCDF - Offline Daily Evapotranspiration Data documentDigital HTML Projections of actual and potential evapotranspiration from downscaled high-resolution CMIP6 climate simulations in Australia documentDigital HTML ro-crate-metadata.json documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital PNG
